Ryan Clark was a 4.7 guy, he turned out ok

Somehow this board justifies a recruits deficiencies by pointing to other players that have overcome them. While it is possible, they are the exceptions. Most kids with physical deficiencies struggle.

It's a numbers game, similar to the star argument. Yes some 3 stars outperform 5 stars, but that is very rare! Therefore, you don't go out looking for 3 stars because one turned out.

With all that said, the job of a good staff is to get those 1-2 kids a year that no one else wanted or appreciated. We will see how we do this year.
